    Bringing some parts from England to California

    Hello,

    so some of you know I am coming to America in a few weeks for a big trip that I am starting in California.

    I will be bringing some parts with me not sure if anyone is interested in them.

    I have

    2x sets of e36 glass headlights.
    1x set of euro smileys
    1x set of euro grills

    and could maybe get hold of some misc bits.

    (steering wheel is going in my 30)

    I am travelling through most of California so i am sure i can meet you on route somewhere local to yourselves or drop them off with someone if needed.

    Now, I know that I should put them in the for sale thread section but I would rather offload them at the start of the trip rather than carry everything across the country getting in the way and at risk of getting damaged.

    Also, I was going to post in the individual Norcal and Socal threads but I figured this would be easier.

    It's also really pissing me off that I didn't capitalise the title of this thread.

      You can change the thread title if you advanced edit your original post.

      Also, I could really use a couple of the dual fog light switches if you can find any. If you've got more room, I'd like a set of late model tail light bulb carriers with the extra wire for the rear fog. I can pop them into my lenses, so I only need the carrier.

        ahh thank you, I have edited the title.

        I can see if I can find one for you, will the fact that the cars here in the UK are RHD make a difference to the switch though?

        I land in Oakland on the 5th September!

          It shouldn't. It's just the two button type.

          Hopefully I can get my car through smog by then and we can drive some back roads. Are you excited?

              I’m not entirely sure how rare they are in England but I’d LOVE a headlight wiper system if they’re easy to source

                If you can source a RHD passenger side visor with mirror then that would be great!

                  These are pretty hard to come by, but i will keep an eye out over time, wont be able to get one before my trip but could potentially find it when i am back and then post it over to you.

                              Sorry for the lack of getting back to everyone.

                              Everything that I brought with me has actually sold but when I get back to England I am going to send some bits back over so if people did want stuff we can certainly set something up.

                              I won’t be back in England until December though.

                              I do however have the above photo’d steering wheel I think I am going to sell with the hub adaptor boss
